"A Power Above the Law is not your typical cop story . . . it's much more. True telling and inspirational. A collection of stories that captures the real meaning of being a police officer. The highs, the lows, the whole range of emotions that every police officer experiences. A must read for both the professional and the general public alike." -John Walsh Asst Director, National Center for Emergency Preparedness From our kitchens to our companies, cops and firefighters see our lives from the inside out. The brutal realities of every day life both challenge and change them. Many times they are the pivot point between something bad and something good. And behind the badges, blotters and ashes, emerge stories of immense courage, camaraderie, and conflict-and on occasion, life-changing faith. A 28 year veteran of the ministry and public service whose been there and seen it all, Tulsa Police/Fire Chaplain Danny Lynchard will tell you that sometimes justice requires more than weapons of guns and hoses-sometimes it requires weapons of the heart. A Power Above The Law is a stunning collection of 58 true stories gleaned directly from the line of duty - each representing a real life experience of police officers, firefighters, and paramedics. A cop's wife on her dying bed, a caring kid left standing in his shorts, a female police officer holding a dying friend in her arms, Lynchard's stories contain a compelling cross-section of the challenges faced by law enforcement personnel everyday in every city - stories that help the to better understand the 360 degrees involved in being tough, being right, and being human. A Power Above the Law depicts hard-hitting stories from real life on the street, made sweet without sugar coating the inner struggles involved when sirens scream and lives are changed forever. Some make you laugh, some make you cry-but more importantly, they turn you toward mankind's true source of strength.
